The sultry bong beauty, Riya Sen, has always been in news more for her controversies and bold comments than her work in films. This year the gal will not be celebrating the Christmas with her family due to her prior commitment to perform in a show in Hong Kong during Christmas. So, instead of celebrating it with family, Riya decided this time that she will be staying a couple of days in Hong Kong with her friends and having a blast.

However, she is a little bit sad about not being with her family and especially with her sister Raima during the festival time, but has decided to make it up with the New Year celebrations.

So Riya made some sacrifices to turn down some good offers to do shows in London, Dubai, Australia, Delhi and some other places and instead opted for a performance in Pune as her friends and family will be there during the time to welcome the new year.

In her forthcoming Suparn Verma’s flick ‘Acid Factory’, Dia will be seen in a glam-chic avatar. Says Suparn,

“The idea was to reinvent Dia and give her a never-before look. Her dresses, her mannerisms and the way she is going to appear in the film are extremely novel. New Delhi-based designer duo Nikhil-Shantanu are styling her.”

To be known here that Dia is the only female lead in the film. The male cast includes Fardeen Khan, Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpai, Dino Morea, Aftab Shivdasani and Danny Denzongpa. Knowing that female characters generally play the least part in Gupta’s movies, it was obviously speculated that here too Dia would not be anything better than a glam-doll. But all the speculations soon turned another leaf when at the media briefing on Geetanjali Lifestyle’s association with “Acid Factory” here Saturday, Gupta unveiled a life-size photograph of a Raquel Welchesque Dia Mirza. “This is Max, the lone and deadly girl in the movie,” he said.

If you just cannot imagine the petite actress Dia Mirza in an action-packed and deadly look, wielding a gun and terrorising everybody, take a sneak peak at this pic of the lady. It will sure scorch the town down!

No, it is not the love for cricket this time. The sexy Mandira Bedi has other things on besides her love for cricket and hosting reality shows. Mandira Bedi has her roots in theatres. So, the lady has gone for her roots this time and has come up with the lead role in a play titled ‘Something About Love’. Check out some pictures of the lady letting her hair down at the play and backstage at St. Andrews.
